Why 100 mg?

A common mistake in the supplement industry is using Magnesium Oxide — a cheaper, poorly absorbed form that often causes digestive upset. We chose magnesium glycinate (magnesium bound with glycine) for its superior absorption and gentle effect on the stomach.

Why exactly 100 mg?

Clinical research suggests that supplemental magnesium is most effective when used to "bridge the gap" between dietary intake and the body's needs. While the RDA is higher, 100 mg of highly bioavailable glycinate provides a significant physiological nudge to the nervous system to initiate sleep without causing the morning "grogginess" associated with higher-dose sedatives. It is designed to work in synergy with our other botanical ingredients to reach the efficacy threshold naturally.

How It Works?

Magnesium acts as the "gatekeeper" for your nervous system. It regulates neurotransmitters that send signals throughout the brain and body.

  • GABA Activation: Magnesium binds to and stimulates GABA receptors. GABA is the primary inhibitory neurotransmitter responsible for "quieting" brain activity.
  • Cortisol Regulation: It helps regulate the body's stress response system, preventing the midnight "cortisol spikes" that lead to sudden wakefulness.
  • The Glycine Bonus: Because our magnesium is bound to Glycine (an amino acid that also promotes sleep), you get a dual-action effect that lowers your core body temperature, signaling to your brain that it is time to sleep.
Clinical Evidence & Research

We don't just claim it works; the science backs it up.

  • Improved Sleep Quality: A double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial concluded that magnesium supplementation significantly increased sleep time and sleep efficiency while reducing early morning awakening in adults.
  • Stress Reduction: Research indicates that magnesium deficiency can lead to increased anxiety and "brain fog," while supplementation helps stabilize the HPA axis (our stress center).
